Episode synopsis
Terrorist attacks keep the world in suspense. Hundreds of innocent people die in Madrid and Beslan, including many children. Anarchy reigns in Iraq, with locals and allied soldiers dying almost daily in attacks. The EU's eastward expansion enlarges the community to 25 states - whether Turkey should also be part of it is a matter of urgency. Horst Köhler becomes the new German President - and Rudi Völler resigns as national coach after a disgraceful European Championship. One name becomes the symbol of social reforms - Hartz IV - and the major parties lose many voters. Otto "Rehakles" Greek becomes European champion - and the youth of the world meets in Athens - but is overshadowed by doping scandals. Fairytale wedding in the royal houses of Denmark and Spain - and the Netherlands mourn Queen Juliana. All this and more in the 2004 album.
